🧠 What stands between a happy face and a sad face? 😊😔 For many living with pulmonary hypertension (PH), it’s an invisible burden. Research suggests 37% experience anxiety and 28% depression. 💙 On #WorldMentalHealthDay, let’s care for the mind as well as the heart and lungs.

World Heart Day ❤️ PH doesn't only affect the lungs. It can place significant strain on the heart, making timely diagnosis and access to appropriate care essential. This #WorldHeartDay, we're supporting the theme "Don't Miss a Beat" by raising awareness of PH and encouraging people to learn more about the condition. Whether you're newly diagnosed, supporting a loved one, or looking for trusted information, our PH resources can help. 📚 Learn about PH: pvrinstitute.org/living-ph/w… 🤝 Explore patient resources: pvrinstitute.org/PH-patient-… 🌍 Find support locally: pvrinstitute.org/living-ph/f…

Europe needs a stronger, shared commitment to lung health. 🫁 A European Lung Health Plan can bring prevention, early diagnosis, access to care and investment together — while tackling stigma and protecting future generations. Our policy is to #KeepBreathing. #ELHG #PHAEurope

❓️ Why do clinical trials matter for patients? Clinical trials help improve treatments, advance research, and improve care for people living with PH. In the second video of our 'Understanding clinical trials' PH patient resource collection, Louise Bouman from Alliance for PH explains why clinical trials matter and how research helps shape the future of PH care. 🎥 Watch the full series: pvrinstitute.org/PH-patient-… Developed by PVRI's Patient Engagement & Empowerment Workstream.

📣 PULMONARY HYPERTENSION CAN STRIKE ANYONE - regardless of age, sex, race, or background. PH often progresses silently and is frequently mistaken for asthma or COPD, leading to dangerous delays in diagnosis. Symptoms like breathlessness, fatigue, dizziness,or chest discomfort ⤵️
